So about a year ago, my husband and I went to Bali for our honeymoon. Both being avid live music fans we spent nearly every night in bars and clubs watching bands.

Bali Rocks

Now if you have been and watched bands in Indonesia, you will know that there are so many talented musicians playing every night in small venues right across Kuta, Legion and beyond.
But something pretty spectacular happened one night. We were sitting in Five Barrels, our favorite bar waiting for a band to start playing, they were doing a glam hair metal night and I was getting pretty restless because it was 10.30 and we were supposed to be leaving early to go snorkeling the next morning.

The band finally took the stage, they absolutely rocked it! We ended up staying right until the end they were that good. Who needs beauty sleep anyway.
After they finished we talked for a good while into the night with one of the guitarists, Ovy. Over the next few nights we caught up with him at a few different venues for drinks and had a blast!

Ovy Rif and Soundrenaline

The last night we saw Ovy, he asked my husband if we would like to come back to Bali in September as they were playing a festival called Soundrenaline. Never one to say no to a live show or a trip to Bali, we said we’d see him in September and we we'd bring our video gear because we love shooting live music too.

We had no clue what Soundarenaline was or who Ovy Rif was until we got home and looked them up on line....wow, so Ovy is in one of the biggest bands in Indonesia - /Rif and they were playing at Soundrenaline, the biggest music festival in Bali. R O C K O N \m/

This is a series of videos we made as the guests of Rif Band at Soundrenaline:
